Problem: 1. A portfolio consists of a T-bill with a face amount of $10,000 and 200 shares of Camel Corp stock priced at $60 a share. The T-bill matures after 1 yr, and its yield is 9.4%. The expected return on the stocks is 16%, with sigma of 22%. Find E(Rp) and σ(Rp) of the portfolio. The answer is E(Rp) = 13.15%, σ(Rp)= 12.49%.
